How Disabled Entrepreneurs in the UK Can Start and Grow a Successful Business
For disabled entrepreneurs in the UK who are considering self-employment for the first time or rebuilding after a job that didn’t fit, business ownership challenges often start before day one: inaccessible spaces and systems, inconsistent support, and the worry that discrimination will show up in customers, suppliers, or paperwork.
